The reason authoritarian communists continue to harass subreddits is due to their ideology and their absolute rejection of dissent.

It doesn't matter whether you are conservative, liberal, or even democratic socialist, they will pile up on you and drop their same old delusional and ignorant horseshit. This stems from a central tenet of Leninist ideology: the understanding that "the masses" will never throw off their bourgeoisie oppressors without the help of "the vanguard."<br><br>For authoritarian communists, democracy and free speech represent a bourgeoisie tool that propagandizes false consciousness, which in turn prevents revolution. It's a circular argument that basically states "if there was a revolution, it would be popular. Since it isn't popular, people have been propagandized." The truth is that most people don't want to throw out liberal democracy and live in a Stalinist hellhole, but this truth is ignored in favour of the view that *we* are the enlightened few, *and we have all the answers.* <br><br>Any dissent to this ideology is an evil masterminded by the bourgeoisie to prevent revolution. This is why authoritarian socialists can pile up on social democrats and left liberals (at least as much as they do conservatives and reactionaries) -- they view them as a threat to revolution and their worldview, so they must be berated and mocked until they come aboard. Even actual democratic socialists and radical socialists are considered enemies by them if they do not follow their line and refuse to put absolute faith in a vanguard of deliverance.<br><br>When you have radical communists and their own authoritarian logic, it's clear that they are not activists in support of more radical action, but rather **attempts to create a radical rupture everywhere, at all times, no matter the cost.** Communists of this type understand that their ideology and line is a minority one, with no hope of succeeding in a majority. Their entire understanding of praxis is that of "make radical demands, even if they alienate everyone and are impossible to fulfill." What you see here, what you see on Twitter and Tiktok, is not "advocacy," it is not "activism," it is a totalitarian defence of a fragile worldview and, at its core, nothing but entryism designed to create the illusion of a "revolutionary" radicalism that they are the only ones who truly understand. **They believe in the vanguard above all else, to the detriment of reality itself, and they will never stop hounding people who don't agree with them because of that.**
